It's really not that great a comment. It's not a bad account of the events, but we have KKK voicing open support for the president and communicating that they feel his actions and policies are a show of support for them. And Trump was slow and seemingly reluctant to denounce them. Yes, damn anybody who brought violence into the picture, but let's not try to obfuscate or down-play that we have white supremacists feeling vindicated and empowered.
- meri_dian 9y agoNot trying to obfuscate anything. Quite the opposite. Just laying the facts of the event out so we can put what the President said into an accurate context.
- libraryatnight 9y agoI don't think those facts are lost in this discussion. It feels instead like they're being reiterated to excuse a man who needed to be goaded into denouncing hate groups that support him.
